Missouri Admitted.
A special telegram from Richmond to the
Charleston Mercury, announces that a bill to
admit Missouri into the Confederacy, passed
Congress on the 19th instant.
Money Going North.
We ask special attention to the communi
cation of Senex in in our paper this morning.
It is from the pen of one of our most distin
guished men, who knows what he says, and
these few lines from him should wake up the
people to the vast importance of the subject.
The men whose cupidity and disloyalty are
so great as to cause them, at such a time, to
engage in such an unpatriotic enterprise ought
not to have the protection of our laws, or the
rights of a citizen accorded to them. Con
gress or the State Legislatures should at once
nullify and forever repudiate all their bonds
and obligations thus obtained by our people,
and the property of those engaged in this ne
farious business ought to be confiscated, to
make up for the “sinews of war” which have
thus been taken from us, and laid into the lap
of the enemy.
We look upon it as nothing better than traf
fic in the blood of our fellow-citizens. Let it
be stopped and that effectually.

For the “ Southern Confederacy.”
Something that should be done—The Cem
etery.
Messrs. Editors: Recently I was called to
perform a funeral service at the house of a
friend, whose sweet little one had died ; and,
as my custom is, accompanied the family and
friends to the cemetery, there intending to
close the service at the grave by prayer. But
just as we reached the spot, and had lowered*
the little one to its last resting place, there
came such a driving shower of rain, as
compelled all the company to seek shelter
in the carriages and under umbrellas and
trees, and leave the Sexton and his assistants
to finish the work. Now, Messrs. Editors, this
ought not so to be; and, if possible to correct
the evil, let me whisper a word in the ears
of the city fathers. While you are expending
thousands in improving the streets, and ad
vancing other works of public interest in the
city, you should not forget that there is imper
atively needed a small chapel at some conven
ient point in the cemetery, for the protection
of such as may have to attend funerals on
rainy days; yes, and on hot days, too. Such
conveniences are found in all city cemeteries,
and should not be wanting another month in
ours. A thousand dollars, or less, will furnish
what is needed. A floor which will accommo
date 70 or an 100 persons, and some plain seats,
with a good roof. The walls may not be board
ed. This is all that is wanted. Shall we have
it ? I think we will.

[For the Confederacy.
Treason in the Camp.
Aug. 20, 1861.
Messrs. Editors: We have read with inter
est the letters of your correspond mt, “A.,”
concerning the battle of Manassas, the war,
prospects of peace, Ac.
On the last subject, we will be gratified if
his anticipations can be realized. We fear he
is sanguine. For peace he relies, in part, on
the inability of our enemy to borrow money.
In this we fear he is mistaken.
There is one sign we do not like. It is this :
Strange ns this may seem, there are millions
of money now being sent North by Southern
banks and capitalists, to buy up on specula
tion the Bonds of Confederate State held by
capitalists there.
This is equivalent to a loan of money by
Southern mon to the North. It enables the
North to realize on their unavailable paper.
It takes from the South what it most needs—
the money. It is aiding the enemy and crip
pling us. If you send the enemy men, or
arms, or supplies, it is treason. How much
better is it to furnish him money ? What do
we get that enables us to buy either ?
Again, this buying of Southern Slates Bonds
at this time, removes from the holder there
the strongest motive in him to advocate peace,
whilst it prepares him to speculate on the
events of the war, and therefore to become an
opposer of peace.
Surely, this matter has not been considered.
There is no patriotism in it—no love of coun
try. It is against our interest; is injuring our
cause; it is aiding and abetting the enemy ; it
is forbid by the laws of belligerents; it is
treason Let us stop it by one consent.
SENEX.
Gov. Irwin--A Third Term.
The Milledgeville “ Recorder,” in comment
ing on the late letter of Gov. Brown to Mayor
Whitaker, says :
*• In arguing the question of precedent, Gov.
Brown has referred to Governor Irwin, who, he
says, " was called to the Executive Chair the
third time.” The record does not fully sus
tain the quotation in the light, perhaps, which
the reader will imagine. We have turned to
the authority, and find that, in January, 1796,
Gen. Jared Irwin was elected Governor by the
Legislature for the term of two vears, and was
succeeded by Gen. James Jackson. We hear
nothing more of him in the Executive until
from September 23, 1866, to November 7, 1806,
when, as President of the Senate, he filled the
vacancy caused by the election of Gov. Mil
ledge to the Senate of the United Slates. Then
Gov. Irwin was continued in the office by a
fresh election by the Legislature, and this was
the third term relied upon by Gov. Brown to
justify his adoption of so worthy an example
as that of the grandfather of his correspond- I
ent.

SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.
London Correspondence of the New York
News.
London, July 17.
Rumors of a change of Ministry are afloat,
but can be traced to no reliable and certain
source. However, the condition of affairs
both at home and abroad may render the in
troduction of some fresh and vigorous mate
rial into the Queen’s councils an early neces
sity. One of the earliest results of such an
event, should the same policy not be adopted
speedily by the present Ministry, will be the
recognition of the Independencewf the Con
federate States of America. This may seem
startling news, but it is nevertheless hue. You
will please note that the lew predictions I
have ventured from time to time, in my let
ters on this subject, have in every instance
been fulfilled, and that I have misled you in
no single fact. The ferocious assaults of the
Northern press upon the opinions and policy
of England have at length swept away every
particle of sympathy that may have been felt
for what was termed by them a “ war for the
Union,” and the utter ruthlessness of their
disregard for common truth and honesty in
their accusations against the people of these
islands has led to the conclusion that their vi
tuperations of the Southern States were and
are just as reckless and untrue.
On the other hand, the brutal and ferocious
appeals of the abolition press to the worst pas
sions of human nature, and the declared in
tention of devastating ana crushing the South
ern States—the land of their relatives and
our own—has produced not only the deepest
d : sgust here, but the hottest indignation. If
there be one characteristic of which the true
Briton boasts more than another, it is his love
of fair play ; and now he sees the South the
injured and weaker party. The same pens
that, only a few years ago, summoned the hu
manity of Europe and the world to rescue the
oppressed victims of tyranny and usurpation
in other lands, are busily at work to denounce
the madness of a Government that tramples
every constitutional guarantee of your Repub
lic under foot. Should any serious reverse
befall the Federal arms, look for the imme
diate lifting of the curtain here. Yet a sin
cere desire for the preservation of the Ameri
can Republic on the basis of good fellowship
still prevails, and were this the issue, there is
but one voice among your trans Atlantic kins
men.
The establishment of a huge military des
potism is deprecated, and will even be resist
ed.
The manufacturing districts are restive, and
the prospects on all sides for the coming win
ter are highly alarming. In the East Indian
colonies such trouble is brewing that there can
be no hope of any certain supply of cotton
from that quarter, while all other sources are
admitted to be utterly inadequate without the
aid of your Southern product.
You will perceive by the journals that tbe
British forces in the Canadas are to be still
further augmented, and the fleets in your wa
ters doubled. Reports are current that Pres
ident Lincoln’s blockade is inefficient, and
that much favoritism is shown. If this be so,
prompt action on the part of this Government
may be surely anticipated.

Baptists in the Confederate States.
It may interest some of our readers, just at
this time, to glance over the statistics of the
denomination within our present national lim
its. We have therefore, compiled the follow
ing table from the American Baptist Almanac
for 1861 :
Churches. Ministers. Members.
Alabama 807 415 60,231
Arkansas 301 145 10,974
Florida 112 57 5,216
Georgia 996 586 82,022
Louisiana 212 IC9 10.381
Mississippi 596 305 41,482
North Carolina 692 374 59,778
South Carolina 469 285 61,965
Texas 450 258 18,727
Virginia 761 412 107,263
Total 6,059 3,3?2 506,386
When the three border States, which now
lie a “ debatable land” between the North and
South, shall have accomplished their “ mani
fest destiny,” this aggregate will be consider
ably augmented :
Churches. Ministers. Members.
Kentucky. 845 372 51,262
Maryland 81 30 4,143
Missouri 713 401 42,080
Total 1,589 808 127,485
When the changes now in progress, there
fore, shall have reached their consummation,
the Baptists of the new "nationality” (accord
ing to these statistics) will number 7,648
churches, 4,135 ministers, and 633,871 mem
bers.— Religious Herald.
Brownlow’s Testimony.
Every reader knows that Brownlow, of the
Knoxville “ Whig,” is not biassed in favor of
the South—in fact, Browulow is the most vir
ulent enemy the South or any Southern State
has ever tolerated, and is far more obnoxious
to the South than any of the editors who have
been accused and indicted in the North have
been to their own section. Here is what
Brownlow says about exchanging prisoners :
The usages of civilized warfare, in all civ
ilized countries, requires a prompt exchange
of prisoners, and this on all hands is declared
to be the duty of belligerents. Nay, to ex
change prisoners without delay, is considered
the highest act of humanity, as well as the
duty of the Government. No matter how well
a prisoner may be treated in the hands of the
enemy, he prefers being released and sent
back to the Government in whose cause he
had been engaged.
Tbe Administration at Washington has
shown more weakness, vanity and presump
tion in its refusal to exchange prisoners, than
we had supposed it capable of. It has plant
ed itself upon an abstraction—could not ex
change prisoners, because that act would be
an acknowledgment of the existence of tbe
Southern Confederacy. This is tomfoolery,
and a stickling for dignity and etiquette, that
can only render them ridiculous. There is
such a thing as a Southern Confederacy, or
Southern Party, or Southern Army, or what
ever we may choose to call them, with 200,-
000 troops in the field, and they made them
selves felt at Manassas, to such an extent, as
to at least entitle them to be regarded as bel
ligerents, and an organization that the Wash
ington Government might afford to exchange
prisoners with !
There is some hope for Brownlow. With
the aid of time, repentance, reflection, Beau
regard, McCulloch and Zollicoffer, he may be
licked into decency.— Charleston Courier Aug.

Bring in xo Mori Reports.—The New
York Express, in an article on the official re-
I port of the battle of Manassas, remarks :
The more we hear of the conduct of some I
; of our officers and men at Bull Run, tbe more |
j we are inclined to let tbe curtain drop on the I
| whole affair, and cry out with the Thane of I
i Cawder, “ Bring in no more reports.” * * I
With disclosures of this discreditable char
; acter crowding upon us, we think the reader
■ will sympathize with the wish we have already
expressed, that Bull Run should drop as soon
ss possible into oblivion. The country has
heard enough of it. "Bring in no more re
ports.”
The Present Revolution Foretold Sixty-
Five Years Ago.
One of the English field officers, who serv
ed against the United States during the Re
volutionary war, after his return to England,
wrote an account of his life and adventures,
which was published in London in 1801. In
many respects, says the Newark (N. J.) Ad
vertiser, he was a remarkable man, but most
remarkable in the prophecies which he utter
ed at Philadelphia about the year 1793, which
were published in his auto-biography in 1801.
These prophecies, now coming to pass, consti
tuted portions of a conversation held at the din
ner table of General Dickenson, brother to the
famous Dickenson, better known to many at
that day, by his nom de plume of the Pentsyl
vania farmer:
Upon a certain occasion, only a fewweeks as
teripeace had jbeen definitely concluded be
tweeu the ThirteenColonies, had become Inde
pendent States, and Great Britain, Gen. Dick
enson requested the Englishman’s opinion of
our Govvernment and its’ability. His reply
was as follows :
"Sir, as long as General Washington and
the other principal military characters and
leading meh in Congress,who have brought on
this revolution, are alive, the Government will
remain as it is, united ; but when all of you
are in your graves, there will be wars and ru
mors of wars in this country. There are too
many differents interest in it for them to be
united under one Government. Just as this
war commenced, you were going to fight
among yourselves, and would have fought had
the British not, interfered. You then, one
and all, united against us as your common
enemy ; but one of these days the Northern and
Southern powers will fight as vigorously ayainst
each other as they betkhave united to do against
the British. This country, when its popula
tion shall have been completed, is large
enough for three great empires. Look, gen
tlemen, at tbe map of it ; view bow irregular
the provinces are laid out, running into each
other; look particularly at the State of New
York ; it extends one hundred and fifty miles
in length due north ; and in no place, iu
breadth, above fifteen or twenty miles. No
country can be said to have a boundary or
frontier, unless its exterior limits are marked
by an unfordable river or a chain of moun
tains not to be passed but in particular places.
“ The great finger of nature has distinctly
pointed out three extensive boundaries to your
country : the North River, the first; the Great
Potomac, which runs three hundred miles from
Alexandria to the sea, unfordable, the second;
and the Mississippi, the third and last. When
the country of Kentucky is settled, and the
back country farther on the banks of tbe Mis
sippi shall become populous and powerful, do
you think they ever will be subjected to a Gov
ernment seated at Philadelphia or New York,
at the distance of so many hundred miles? But
such a defection will not happen for a very
long period of time, until the inhabitants of
that country become numerous and powerful.
The Northern and Southern powers will first
divide and contend in arms.
" I will risk a further opinion relative to
America. Should I live to a good old age, I
am confident that I shall bear of tbe North
ern and Southern powers in America waging
war with each other : when one party will so
licit assistance from France, tbe other from
Great Britain. It will then depend on the
judgment of those men who, at that period
may be at the head of the French and British
councils, whether or not they will interfere in
American disputes. In my bumble opinion,
it would be better for both countries to let them
settle the matter among themselves.

Washington, August 13.—Hon. Horace
Maynard, of Tennessee, arrived here to day,
He and Hon. T. A. R. Nelson had arranged
to leave Tennessee the day after tne election,
August 1, and, meeting at Kentucky, come
on and take their seats in the Federal Con
gress. Judge Nelson was in one of the ex
treme counties of bis District, and, in at
tempting to cross Lee county, Va , which is
between Kentucky and Tennessee, he was
seized.
This morning, 24 prisoners, taken after the
battle of Bull run, reached here. They left
Richmond day before yesterday, and were
sent by rail to our lines, near Fortress Mon
roe. The following is a copy of their obliga
tions:
We, the undersigned officers, non-commis
sioned officers, privates and citizens of the
United States, do make our unqualified parole
of honor that we will not, by arms, informa

any of them, in any form or manner whatso

Immense Preparations of the Lincoluites
—Rifled Cannon and Munitions of War
from Lincoln on the way to his Soldiers
in Kentucky.
The following letter is from a perfect relia
ble source :
Cynthiana, Kt., August 16, ’6l.
Editors Louisville Courier: There is an im
mense train of cars at Falmouth, twenty odd
miles below thia place, wailing the construc
tion of a bridge that was partially destroyed
by fire yesterday morning. This train con
tains a battery of six rifled cannon, with appur
tenances. I understand that immense muni
tions of war are aboard of this train. They
are designed for Hoskins, and East Tennes
see. Where is Magoffin and our State neutrodi
ty? If ever there was a time for action, it
eeema to me that time has arrived. Sound
the ALARM 1 Yours truly,
Ha?" The Breckinridge State Committee, of
New York, have passed a resolution, expelling
a member of the Commi tec who has accepted office
and entered the service of the United Stales Gov
ernment!
The same Committee approves the action of
the Dean Richmond wing of the party, in re
fusing to go with tbe Republicans for a Union
ticket, and extends the right band of fellow
ship.
A meaner clique of trailois never conspired
against their country. The cry is “ peace and
reconciliation,” by which they mean submiss
ion to rebellion and prostration before the
Southern rebel*.
Those who are anxious to give aid and com
fort to traitors, know how to do it just now :

A Sensible Servant. —The papers North and
South reported, some time since, that General
McClellan gave the choice of going to Ohio, or
returning home, to many servants captured in
Western Virginia with the baggage lost by Gen.
Garnett’s command. To the honor of these
servants, and tbe surprise of McClellan—but
of no Southern gentleman—they refused citi
zenship in Ohio, and preferred their condition
at the South. Among these faithful servants,
was one who is known to many of cur readers.
We refer to Philip, a servant of Lieut. Joseph
Palmer, of the Southern Guards, from Hous
ton county, Ga , formerly of this State. Phil
ip has returned, and is justly proud of his pa
role, which he will keep faithfully, but with
some reluctance, until exchanged for some Lin
coln Colonel —for we insist that Philip should
not be rated lower than a Colonel in such reck
oning.— Charleston Courier, Aug. 20.

It Must Stop—We are advised by a letter
from an attentive correspondent at Cynthiana,
that six rifled cannon, and several car loads of
munitions of war are at Falmouth, Ky., en
route for the Union men of East Tennessee
Tbe people of Kentucky have submitted long
and patiently to the violation of their neu
trality by the Lincoln Government, in send
ing arms into this State to be used against the
people of the South. Forbearance has almost
ceased to be a virtue.
The importation of Lincoln guns is a viola
tion of Kentucky neutrality, and must be stop
ped. If the Governor does not stop further
importation, the people should and will do it.

take out and pour over them boiling vinegar ;
lastly, put them away in strong vinegar, ad

Rev. C. P. COOPER, A. M., President.
WILL resume exercises on the 25th of Sep
tember next.
>An efficient corps of seven ladies
and gentlemen will comprise tbe
Faculty, representing, as far as
practicable, every Protestant de

No pains or expense will be spared to secure
the best talent for the various Departments, to
be exclusively selected from among Southern
ers.
A Preparatory Department is attached to
the College, where particular attention will be
given to laying well the foundations of educa
tion, as absolutely necessary to further suc
cessful advancement.
The useful, the practical, and the ornament

lady, both possessing experience and genius to
an eminent degree, and occupying fine social
positions.
The late President resigning, to attend to pri
